BLESSED IS THE MAN / PSALMS 1:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 1:1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

BLESSED IS THE MAN / PSALMS 1:1

Psalms 1 serves as an introduction to the book of Psalms. It contracts two kinds of people. Each group has a distinct set of life principles in relation to God:

  1. Those who love God and do what His Word says in right are called “the righteous” in Psalms 1:5-6. They separate themselves from beliefs and behaviors that may be common in the world but are offensive to God (Psalms 1:1-2).
  2. Those who follow beliefs and behaviors that defy God and reject God’s Word are called “the wicked” (Psalms 1:4-6). God knows and blesses those who follow Him, but the ungodly have no part in god’s kingdom (1 Corinthians 6:9) and will perish (Psalms 1:6). The distinction between these two kinds of people will always exist, and the separation between them will continue into eternity. The freedom of choice to accept or reject the opportunity God has provided to renew our broken relationship with Him determines which group a person belongs to.

DOES NOT WALK IN THE COUNSEL OF THE WICKED

The first verse of the book of Psalms emphasizes the distinction between the righteous (those who trust God and follow His ways) and the wicked (those who reject Him and go their own way). True followers of God can be recognized, in part, by what they do, where they go and the company they keep. It is necessary to avoid things that are spiritually harmful and defiant in order to experience God’s blessing and favor.
